My god would I ever love to cut 1/4 of our budget!
Off the top of my head:
- 10% Salary Roll back for all public employees
- Elimination of 25% of management positions within bureaucracy
- Freeze on bonuses
- Cut operational spending 10%
- elimination/privatization of several useless provincial departments (HRC, Carbon Capture fund, venture capital fund, health superboard, etc.)
- Hiring freeze
- Cut cabinet and comittee's
- invite private partnership/competition into infrastructure development
That should get us pretty close?
